IT IS not intended fkat tkis little 
book of sketcnes be a coniplete 
record of fke many quaint and 
historical streets and buildings of 
tke old Klexv Orleans. Indeed, 
nowever interesting ma^^ be me 
subject of one sketcK, mere is 
always anotner just as interesting 
around the corner, across 4ie street, 
or in tne courtyard. Rambling 
down the street in distant per- 
spective, there are dainty cornices, 
quaint dormer windows, over- 
hanging balconies and lace-like iron 
work without end. The guide 
books will locate many of these, 
and in the old book shops and 
among well preserved records you 
will find 4ieir history). 

It is the hope that these 
sketches, made here and there, ma^) 
serve merely as a means of bringing 
back to memory the charm of the 
old city whose builders designed so 
well and whose people bequeathed 
to us the history of a life 4iat was 
always interesting and colorful and 
full of action.
